lMlTATlON-BEAD EMBROIDERY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,582, dated July 21; 1885.

Application filed April 29, 1885. (No specimens.)

each stitch winds its thread around the needle of the machine.

By employing as second thread any kind of metallic or other shining substance which, by its nature, is still soft enough to be wound like a thread around the needle, I obtain a great variety of effects. Thus I have succeeded in employing narrow strips of shining leather, cloth, or patent-leather, which are especially prepared for the purpose, and which, when wound around the needle or around the stitch of the machine, are interlaced in the work in such a manner that they imitate bead-embroidery work, and thus produce a fine effect and constitute a valuable article of manufacture, as it can be employed on cheap goods as a substitute for bead-embroidery.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a pattern of lace having a strip applied the fabric in successive spirals, whereby the imitation of bead-work is produced. As shown in Fig. 2, it is held in place by a thread, I), which, as stated, may form the seam made by an ordinary embroidering-machine, the said strip a being wound around such thread at the formation of each stitch.

Having thus fully described the nature of my invention, What I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An article of lace or other fabric ornamented by a fiat twisted strip of shining ma terial united thereto, substantially as described.

2. An article of lace or other fabric having secured thereonby stitches a strip of leather, metal, or other shining substance laid in successive spirals, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I havesigned this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
